Also finished backs using Duplicolor truck bed liner spray and covered in saten black.

Replaced all clutch/brake fluids.  Pic shown is what I found....

The bags look great. The master cylinder, not so much!

I replaced the actuator cable that runs from cruise servo to the throttle linkage. It was down to one strand. :yikes: :yikes:

Please tell us how this was done and where parts were procured.  I had the same problem and, luckily, had an extra servo and swapped out the whole unit.
